* Consider Organic and flavorful vinegars like Balsamic, Apple, Raspberry, Cranberry, Garlic, Four Thieves, etc. 

Consider  adding 25% healthy  OILS: Olive, Grape seed, even less tasteful flax seed

Use on salads, in soups and stews, as a marinate for vegetables or meats.

 If you prefer a live vinegar, like live apple cider, then we suggest first boiling your selection at a low boil for 5-10 minutes before adding to the Pressed Extract. These must be distilled vinegar or boiled, so the live ferment—similar to our SCOBY does not compete with our pro-biotic kombucha.

The addition of vinegar- like alcohol - will prevent any mold from forming while unlike alcohol, vinegar adds to ones health and does not make things worse as alcohol often does.

A combination of flavorful vinegar, oil and our Kombucha Pressed Extract/ HYDROSAL adds some pretty incredible taste to our lives.  

The Use of Kombucha Vinegar in Chinese Medicine has a long history. Originally Chinese, as other Dynasties, like the Romans and their Oxymel (vinegar & honey) understood that food was medicine, and medicine was food. To make your own Oxymel simply add 30-40% raw honey to your favorite vinegar or sour kombucha tea.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kombucha Vinegar’s flavor is sour and bitter and its nature or temperature is warm. It enters the liver and stomach channels, and its functions are that it scatters stasis, stops bleeding, resolves toxins, and kills worms. In TCM, various Chinese herbs are stir-fried in Kombucha Vinegar in order to either help target them to the liver-gallbladder or to increase their functions of moving the Qi and quickening the blood. However, in Chinese folk medicine, vinegar is a medicinal in its own right, treating a wide range of disorders and complaints, including internal medicine, gynecological, dermatological, and traumatological conditions
